oral health benefit on the host.
The New Paradigm
for Oral Management
Probiotics
Oral Cavity, The Route of Entry for Harmful Substances
Oral cavity, Where Your Whole Body Health Is Determined
Your mouth is the most common route of entry for
most harmful substances.
Pathogens, which entered
the human body through the mouth,
affect one’s oral health,
spread through the body via the bloodstream,
and
cause various diseases. Maintaining consistent
and appropriate oral hygiene practices
is required
since oral health is critical to your whole body health.
When It Comes to Taking Care of
Mouth and Teeth,
Many People Today
Are Accustomed to
Using Mouthwash, Toothpaste, Antibiotic, or Such,
Each of Which Contains Chemicals
to “Eradicate Bacteria”.
Brushing your teeth, however, is not sufficient to protect your oral cavity from harmful bacteria residing at blind spots. Knocking out not only harmful bacteria, but also beneficial bacteria destroys the balance of species within microbial communities in your mouth and even promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
OraPharm offers an intimate and lasting solution to
various oral health problems with the peaceful coexistence
of human and microbes in mind, and so helps you
restore the balance of species within microbial communities
in your mouth instead of killing all the bacteria
in your mouth with chemicals.

Among the 1,640 strains identified, OraPharm isolated
4 probiotic strains

have the great adhesive properties, and control harmful bacteria successfully,
from the saliva of kids who have healthy mouth. Subsequently,
OraPharm developed the product containing 2 probiotic strains among the 4
that the company had isolated. This product is known as the very first
oral probiotics made in Korea.
